BARMY ABOUT The Bahamas The Bahamas is an archipelago of 29 islands, 661 quays, and more than 2,300 islets in the Atlantic Ocean. Its capital is Nassau. Gorgeous pink and white sand beaches, the shimmering blue waters of the Atlantic and a pleasant tropical climate created by the cooling trade winds of the Gulf Stream have made the island many people’s idea of an earthly paradise. At the very least, its name has become almost synonymous with summer holidays, beach fun, and friendly locals. Bahamians have a reputation for being very warm and hospitable, ready to give visitors their first taste of the islands’ famed cracked conch upon arrival or regale them with folk stories and tales about life in the Bahamas.
